I’m not a fan of adverts ordinarily – but I make an exception when they’re done really well (and when they don’t interrupt the F1 race).

This new Mercedes advert featuring Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso and Mika Hakkinen is great fun and sends up the rivalry between Hamilton and Alonso that certain elements of the press are doing their best to exaggerate.

I totally freaked when I saw this ad on Saturday, it must be one of the best ads on TV (not hard I know). Whoever came up with the idea is my kind of person. When it got to the punchline, I was crying it was such a good joke.
